Southern Skillet Cornbread

I was raised on cornbread. It is a southern staple. A must have. Here is a quick and easy delicious southern skillet recipe you’ll love. First, you need to preheat your skillet. Turn your oven on to 450 degrees F and place your greased up skillet it to heat up. Then make your batter:

2 cups self-rising cornmeal

1 large egg

1/4 cup veg oil

1 1/3 cup milk or 1 3/4 cups buttermilk

3/4 cup sugar

mix with an electric mixer until no lumps in batter. Pour batter into hot skillet and bake for 20 to 25 minutes. When light brown in color let cool and melt a little butter over the top. Serve and enjoy!

Sometimes I will add a can of drained corn to the batter. That’s really good too!
